No, I've been buying all sorts of orange fabrics specifically for this project. I'm a traditional quilter normally. I've only been quilting about 2 years & wanted to learn the various techniques. Stretch that comfort zone a bit. :-) Yes, I like to check out what others are doing too!

Was the orange from you stash? I love the combination you came up with. I am using a paisley with a black background. A little tricky to mark, but loving it. Very different for me. I am so enjoying other peoples inspirations

Thank you! It's the first time I've used the color orange for a main color. I really stepped out of my comfort zone on this quilt. :-)
